I think it is over up here on the north shore. And hearing reports that Boston Harbor is getting thin. Talked with four other boaters out fishing this afternoon, and not a fish amongst us.... Only saw a single small pod of anchovies, no other bait to speak of. Local shore spot at night not much better. I'm going to haul the boat this weekend, so if there are to be any blitzes for me this year, they better be close to shore. Definitely the worst September/October I can remember.  |

The sharpies are still getting a few fish at first light including one in the mid-thirty# range yesterday but the bite is only on for a very short window of time. Absolutely the worst October I've seen ever. Still holding out hope though as the big mackerel are thick just North of here and some bigger bass will usually travel along with them. |

Most of the big bass are gone, IMO. Slowest night in over a month last night. Things were trending down the last two weeks, and nearly got the skunk last night.
Of course I'll monitor the places I frequent for a couple more weeks, but the 20# plus numbers are dwindling quickly... |

I'm with you. Probably going to go out friday night if conditions look good, than hang it up as far as local action. I'm ready.
Think the wife is working 11/8 and 11/9 so I may do a commando to BI to end the season officially. |

Thanks for the compliment Jim.
Sure, guys will get an isolated fish here and there for a while, but the masses of basses are nearing Manassas.... |

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I couldn't come up with a word that rhymed with basses and masses that was closer to us than VA. My geography is weak.... |
